Chocolate Bubble Bath Anyone?

January 28, 2001|The New York Times

The Spa at the Hotel Hershey is not about taking off pounds added by a certain substance made elsewhere in town. The Mediterranean-style hotel in Hershey, Pa., is emphasizing pampering at its 17,000-square-foot, three-story spa, which opened Jan. 15.

The separate men's and women's areas include massage rooms, four soaking tubs, two hydro-massage showers, two steam rooms and facilities for facials, pedicures, manicures and hair styling. Also offered are European hydrotherapy, body wraps and body polishes.

Massages start at $50 for 20 minutes. The Chocolate Escape, with four treatments covering three hours, costs $265. The Whipped Cocoa Bath, $45, has a whirlpool bubble bath with cocoa powder.

Reservations are recommended for treatments at the spa, which also includes an indoor pool and exercise machines that are free to guests at the 235-room hotel. Call 800-437-7439; on the Web at www. hersheypa.com.
